NBAPlayoff Knicks even series with 111-105 win over the Heat in Game 2 at the Garden Knicks Heat
The New York Knicks know how difficult it is having to play a postseason game without their do-everything forward.Jimmy Butler's status is uncertain for Miami. The Knicks aren't sure yet about Julius Randle.
The Heat and Knicks will be followed by Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinal series between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers. Butler is their most important player, scoring 56 and 42 points in the final two games of their first-round series, when the Heat knocked off Milwaukee to become the sixth No. 8 to beat a No. 1 seed in NBA history.
The All-Star forward was far from his best in that series after missing the final five games of the regular season with the initial injury, but the Knicks would take whatever they could get now. They held up fine with a limited Butler in the game's closing minutes, with veterans Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo having big final quarters.
The No. 5-seeded Knicks responded from their loss in Game 2 to the Cavaliers by winning three straight to take the series, so they showed no concerns as they try to even this one.
